Bill > A10034

This bill requires parity in the standards of dental telehealth services, meaning that such services must adhere to the same standards of appropriate patient care as in-person dental health care settings. This includes requirements for patient examination, taking of x-rays, and review of medical and dental history. The bill also mandates that dental telehealth providers identify themselves to patients and provide their New York state license numbers, and prohibits them from attempting to waive liability or prevent patients from filing complaints. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the provisions do not diminish requirements for other telehealth services and do not allow any person to provide services without the required license or authorization.
